How to Bake a Potato in the Slow Cooker
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
How would you like to come home tonight to the aroma of roasting potatoes and know that all you have to do is pull out a foil package and add the butter? Oh, yes, this kind of instant dinner gratification is totally possible. All you have to do is grab some potatoes and take your slow cooker down from the shelf.
Baking potatoes in the slow cooker is one of those things that is so easy, it feel like there must be some kind of catch. Except...there isn't. In the morning, wrap anywhere from one to eight potatoes in foil, pack them into your slow cooker, and set it to LOW. No extra liquid is necessary. By the time you get home later that evening, those potatoes have cooked in their own steam, turning into some of the softest and most richly flavored potatoes you've ever eaten.
The only slightly unusual thing that happens is that the flesh of the potato darkens as it cooks, turning a caramel-tan color. It can be slightly disconcerting the first time you break open a slow-cooked potato, but it's nothing to worry about. This color change is thanks to the maillard reaction, which happens when starches are cooked in the absence of liquid, and it actually produces mouthwatering nutty and roasted flavors in the potatoes.
One other note before we jump into it: these potatoes can be baked for anywhere from 8 to 10 hours on the LOW setting on your slow cooker, but don't let them linger too long in the WARM zone. The longer the potatoes are kept warm (below 140°F), the more there's an increase risk of food poisoning from things like botulism. So if you think you might be a little late coming home, set your slow cooker to 10 hours to be safe.
How to Bake a Potato in the Slow Cooker
Makes 1 to 8 potatoes
What You Need
1 to 8 russet potatoes (See Recipe Note)
Olive oil
Aluminum foil
1 slow-cooker, any size
- Prepare the potatoes. Lay a square of aluminum foil on your work surface and set a potato on top. Prick the potato all over with a fork. Rub it with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Wrap the potato tightly. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
- Arrange the potatoes in the slow cooker. Lay the potatoes in the slow cooker so they fit snugly next to each other. If you are baking 1 to 2 potatoes, set them in the middle of the slow cooker; stack 5 or more potatoes in a second layer.
- Bake for 8 to 10 hours on LOW. Cover the slow cooker and set it to LOW for 8 to 10 hours. The potatoes will be ready to eat any time after 8 hours, but will be fine if cooked for up to 10 hours. You can remove the potatoes and eat them at any point between 8 and 10 hours. Do not leave them on the WARM setting for more than an hour.
- Remove potatoes from the foil, split, and eat. When ready to eat, unwrap the potatoes, split them along the length, and top with your favorite toppings. Leftover potatoes can be kept, wrapped in foil, for 3-4 days in the fridge.
Recipe Notes
- Try this method with other hard root vegetables like sweet potatoes and beets as well!

Not a baked potato.
Without a crisp skin and fluffy interior, it's just a cooked potato.
I'll send back any potato served that was baked in foil.
I actually prefer a creamy potato to a fluffy potato, but like joelfinkle, I do love a crispy skin. Is there anyway to achieve that with this recipe? What happens if you don't wrap it in foil?
The potatoes need to be wrapped in foil in order to cook properly, but you might try unwrapping them in the last half hour or so of cooking. There is very little moisture by that point, so the skin might crisp up! Or you could unwrap the potatoes and transfer them to the oven for 10 minutes or so to dry out the skin. Let us know if you try it!
All this said, the skin on these slow-cooked potatoes is actually pretty darn good. It's not crispy, exactly, but it's definitely dry and very tender.
I have baked sweet potatoes in the slow cooker, too--and I've learned to LINE the cooker with foil because if any sweet potato liquid bubbles out it is like burnt sugar--a mess. So I'm guessing that slow-cooking a regular potato without foil could lead to burnt skin and unpleasantness--but maybe if you line the cooker with foil and just set the clean, DRY, pricked potatoes inside? I think that could work.
No, no! Cooking potatoes in foil doesn't make them "creamy"; it makes them sodden.
I'm with joelfinkel on this one.
I never eat the skin anyway so I don't care if it is crispy or not. I love the idea of popping these in when I go to work and having them done when I get home. I will definitely be doing this, probably with sweet potaoes though, they are my favorite. Thanks for the tip!
I have "baked" potatoes in my slow cooker before without wrapping them in foil. I simply rubbed them with oil first. My favorite potatoes, however, are scrubbed, pricked and baked in the oven absolutely bare. I set them in the oven and set my timed-bake functiont to start an hour before I want them ready. Simple.
The skin may not be crispy, but these are the most tender potatoes I have ever made. Put some oil and salt on the skin and it's heavenly.
this is FREAKIN BRILLIANT> mind blown.
One the one hand it's great that Americans are cooking more for themselves and relying less on take-out or pre-cooked heat up in the microwave meal. On the other hand, I'm a little dismayed that we've gotten so lazy (and rationalized it as "busy") that we can't bake even a potato in the oven anymore.
Mixed feelings on this one.
I think this type of cooking works out for people that work long hours, and do not want junk food.
Cooked spuds are good, and the best place to get a crisp skinned spud is at home from the oven.
I usually do my russets in the oven, but I will try some version of this method just to see how it goes.
The Kitchn seems to be very slow-cooker-centered lately...and that's fine with me! There have been some very good posts on this topic here. But another good reason for being well-aquainted with your slow cooker is in the unfortunate circumstance of having your stove/oven die on you. My sister's unit died and they didn't have funds to replace it for like six weeks, so she had to cook in other ways for a while. She used her slow cooker and her outdoor grill a LOT during that time.
@RubyMae Some of us have jobs where we don't get home until 7 pm... but in order to not have takeout or a microwaved meal, ideas like this are a great way to prep an element of a meal that generally takes a long time, and would result in dinner being eaten no earlier than 8pm if prepared in the oven.
I don't think this constitutes being lazy or psuedo-"busy", it's a reality of working life in this day and age.
This is a great idea! Using a slow cooker is a real boon when it's hot and you don't want to the oven to heat up your house. Also slow cookers use about as much electricity as a lightbulb, making it a very efficient way to cook. Ovens waste a great deal more energy (and yes, it does matter). These days, I 'm likely to bake potatoes only if I'm going to turn the oven on to bake something else.
Hello RubyMae, I'm not an American, but I love to cook and we eat at home an average of 6 nights per week.
These spuds are going to be a great side-dish tonight when I get home from work and have 12 family and mates over for a BBQ dinner. If I was home all day, I would be cooking them in the oven for sure, but this is a brilliant option for someone in a situation like mine.

How about this!
Elvis and Robbie Williams...
Yes he is paying tribute to Elvis by playing a bit with the myth & the stereotype, the image and the cliches, but no, I don't think he is being disrespectful at all, he is just being humorous toying with that.
P.S. Never seen the Robbie Williams one, I've read he is really crazy about Elvis. Maybe there's another nice video of his doing Elvis that you could share.
Robbie is a huge Elvis fan, before walking on stage to perform, he's "praying" to Elvis and on his arm he has a tattoo, saying: "Elvis - Grant me serenity"
In this video he's performing Advertising Space in Leeds...doing a little bit Elvis...
Elvis & Robbie - My Way
Just found the "Serenity Prayer"
About the Neil Young song, Neil has stated that as a teenager he idolized Elvis, and it was not just a 50's thing, that he liked his records all the way through '77. Interviewed by Guitare & Claviers Magazine, Young claims that the life of Presley had inspired some of his most famous songs such as "Hey, Hey, My, My". But he has always been critical (and that is his style of performing anyway) about the way his image has become pretty much a cliche in american mass culture. So I might call the song we're mention a loving irony maybe.
That song I posted is neither the first or the only time he talks about Elvis in a song, he was often seen wearing an Elvis T-Shirt on stage during his '89 US Tour. So in his Satruday Night Live appearance same year.

I just came across this one...
Interesting reading about Neil Youngs` "He was the king"... I always wondered about that one.The first time I heard it I thought it sounded a bit like pi**-take....not so sure now. Like Miss Clawdy I`d be really disappointed if it was...plus I`d have to chuck out my neil young cds!
I think Raised On Rocks` description of "loving irony" probably describes it pretty well.
Thought I`d add this one to this impressive list of tributes and songs about our man Elvis.
Not sure if this qualifies as a "tribute" exactly..but you can certainly hear the Elvis influence in this version of "Blue Moon".
Here's some from Norway :
Toini & The Tomcats - I Saw Elvis
The Beatniks & James Burton - Burning Love
Paal Flaata - Rubberneckin'
Trond Granlund - Say We're Not Apart
All the way from South America: Andrés Calamaro
And this is a song he wrote for Elvis:

THAT! IS RIDICULOUS! Such an important safety system should have its own dedicated bus, wiring and computer. There is no way to predict all possible states of such a system, therefor critical messages can be obliterated by non-critical but overwhelming messages. Like a denial of service attack on the internet.
There have been some reports that the shifter has been disabled by these CANBUS faults as well, thus denying the poor driver one possible out in this situation.

Football: Dallas Cup date for Dorset-based referee Lewis
6:00am Wednesday 1st January 2014 in Sport By Andy Mitchell
HIGHCLIFFE referee Lewis Sandoe has been selected to officiate at this year's Dallas Cup – one of the world's most prestigious youth football tournaments.
The 20-year-old, who regularly takes charge of matches in the Wessex League as well as assisting higher up the non-league pyramid, will be one of eight up-and-coming officials from around the UK to fly out in April.
Sandoe, who first took the whistle for his sister's junior matches at the age of 14, emerged from 30 other potential candidates in a development group for referees in the south-east region to line up in the United States.
The renowned event, which helped launch the careers of England internationals Wayne Rooney and Ross Barkley, has been won by Liverpool and Brazilian giants Sao Paulo in the past decade while Fulham's under-19s lifted the top prize last season.
Selection is viewed as one of the ultimate accolades for aspiring officials with Sandoe particularly pleased to don the famous three lions when he makes the trip over the pond.
He told the Daily Echo: "It was the one tournament I always wanted to go as a referee as it is quite well known and prestigious.
"Wearing the three lions is seen as a badge of honour reserved for the elite referees. It's unbelievable to get it because very few people in the country are allowed to wear the three lions.
"I couldn't believe it when I got picked. I thought the guy I went up against pretty much had it in the bag so it was a surprise and I was over the moon when I found out.
"To be asked to go out and represent the Hampshire FA is quite a privilege and I can't wait to get out there."
Despite enjoying the playing side of the beautiful game, Sandoe chose to follow in his father Craig's footsteps by taking charge of his sister's junior matches.
And now, with the world at his feet, Lewis harbours hopes of progressing into the professional game "I have played football all my life but had to make a choice at 17 which route to take," he added.
"To be honest, I am a much better as a referee than a footballer. I knew I could make the higher grade by refereeing so I made that decision and, so far, it is going well."

To cut a thread is not a trivial job. It must be well aligned and centered. The right side of the die must be used to start the thread more easily. The right 1" socket die holder must be used (some people try regular wrenches or vise-grips to hold the die, and get poor or no results). I use a lathe to hold the steel bar in the plate, and the die in the chuck, so everything is centered. It should be good to practice: First try to cut threads on soft metal bars, like aluminum or brass, with plenty of cutting oil (or WD40, at least). Dry threading steel is not a beginner's task.
Does the job but it's hard to work with.
Hard to review, it cuts threads! Lol, what to say? It works
I am building a replica 59 Burst and bought the Stewmac vintage trussrod. This trussrod needs cutting to length and threading at one end. It is convienent that Stewmac offer this product so I can correctly to keep to vintage spec.
Does the job. Some strength needs to be applied
I had no experience using one of these but it still worked out great. Price was great too.
I found that using this die with the traditional truss rod was a pretty heavy cut. I had trouble getting it started so i tapered the end with a belt sander. Then when it was on, it was easy to cut the threads
The die works well, you should have a cutting die tool to mount the die in for best results. It is difficult to start with just a wrench.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Eric Russell firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
Opening statements have yet to be made in the trial of Mark Strong Sr., but already the Kennebunk prostitution case is a study in legal maneuvering.
Justice Nancy Mills brings her reputation for being tough and fair to a prostitution case complicated by legal skirmishes and media scrutiny.
Justice Nancy Mills
On one side is Daniel Lilley, Strong's lawyer and one of Maine's most respected defense attorneys.
On the other is York County Deputy District Attorney Justina McGettigan, who lacks Lilley's decades of trial experience but is considered a thorough and fearless prosecutor.
Presiding over it all is Superior Court Justice Nancy Mills, who must steer the high-profile case through what has been a steady stream of legal arguments and media scrutiny.
Since the proceedings started on Jan. 22, there have been numerous stops and starts and, at times, confusion.
Mills has seen one of her decisions overturned by the state's highest court, which also agreed to hear an appeal of her decision last week to drop most of the 59 charges against Strong.
She dismissed 46 counts of violation of privacy, prompting prosecutors to appeal to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court and ask for the trial to be stopped until a ruling is issued. On Tuesday, the court agreed to hear the appeal.
Earlier in the day, there was momentary confusion in York County Superior Court when Mills dismissed the jury pool after rejecting a motion by Lilley to go ahead with trial on the 13 remaining counts against Strong.
She reversed herself after learning that York County, where she normally doesn't hear cases, retains jury pools for two months, unlike Cumberland County, where jury pools are retained for only a month.
Has Mills lost control of the trial before it has really begun?
She has done nothing to suggest that, said Jim Burke, a professor at the University of Maine School of Law. On the contrary, he said, Mills is living up to her reputation as a tough, measured judge who believes in a fair process.
"She has to deal with what comes before her, and the attorneys for the two sides are firing everything they can to gain an advantage," Burke said Tuesday. "Her job is to call balls and strikes."
Walter McKee, a veteran defense attorney in Augusta who has tried dozens of cases before Mills, called her "the perfect judge" for the Kennebunk prostitution case.
"It's a thankless case, but she's the kind of person to take those on," he said. "Above all, she makes sure everyone gets a fair trial. And she's certainly not afraid to make a tough decision."
Leonard Sharon, a defense attorney from Lewiston who also has appeared before Mills many times, agreed.
"When she makes an order, if it's not followed, you're going to hear about it," Sharon said. "I've never known her to lose control. Her strength is her ability to control her courtroom."
Mills has long been accustomed to being in control. She has been a Superior Court justice since 1993, and was chief justice from 2001 to 2004.
Before that, she was a District Court judge and assistant district attorney in Kennebec and Somerset counties. She is a graduate of the UMaine School of Law and was editor of the Maine Law Review.
Her husband, Peter Mills, is the director of the Maine Turnpike Authority and a former state lawmaker and gubernatorial candidate. One sister-in-law is Maine Attorney General Janet Mills.
Nancy Mills' 20-year history as a Superior Court justice is varied. It's hard to derive specific tendencies from cases she presided over, although Mills has imposed some stiff sentences.
In February 2010, she sentenced Leo Rose Hylton to 90 years in prison, with 40 years suspended, for attempted murder, robbery and burglary.
During the sentencing, Mills said, "There's only a few defendants who come into court where a judge truly feels that she is standing between the people of Maine and a violent, dangerous predator. And that's how I feel today."
In 2007, she sentenced Albert Dumas to 70 years in prison, with 30 years suspended, for raping and terrorizing a 14-year-old Augusta girl at knifepoint. Mills said the long sentence was necessary to protect society and "to protect the women of Maine from a dangerous sex offender."
In 2005, she sentenced David Grant to 70 years for killing Janet Hagerthy, his elderly mother-in-law. In imposing a sentence 10 years longer than prosecutors had requested, Mills called the killing "an example of extreme cruelty."
Mills was the judge of record in a landmark consent decree to improve the state's mental health system and reduce the number of patients admitted to the Augusta Mental Health Institute.
Twelve years later, in 2004, Mills wrote in a 354-page decision that state officials had failed to meet the terms of the consent decree and should have acknowledged their failure.
"This is not a failure of funding," she wrote. "This is a failure of management to get the job done."
Mills has shown the same strict attitude in Strong's trial. Those involved in the case have been instructed not to talk to the media. Mills reprimanded Lilley on Tuesday for speaking to the media the previous day.
Last week, Mills criticized the media attention after her decision to close jury selection to the public was challenged by the Portland Press Herald. She called the coverage "unprecedented" and said Strong's trial was the first in which she had not been able to seat a jury in a single day.
"This case has been defined from the very beginning by the interest the media has shown," she said. "As concerned as I am about the public, the media and the jurors, my paramount concern in this case is that the state receives a fair trial and that Mr. Strong receives a fair trial in this case, and part of receiving a fair trial is that both parties are able to select a fair and impartial jury."
Mary Ann Lynch, government and media counsel for Maine's Judicial Branch, said the judicial code of conduct prohibits judges from doing or saying anything that would affect impartiality. Because of that, Lynch said, Mills would not be interviewed for any story related to an open case.
Mills, who usually hears cases in Cumberland and Kennebec counties, was not the first choice to preside over the Kennebunk prostitution case. Justice Joyce Wheeler of Cumberland County was selected, but recused herself in September, forcing the state court system to find another judge.
Since Mills has taken over, the case has been a heavyweight legal fight that has played out in public.
Strong, 57, was arrested in July on suspicion that he helped to run a prostitution business with Alexis Wright, a Zumba instructor in Kennebunk. Wright, whose trial is set for May, was charged months later.
In October, Kennebunk police began charging suspected clients of Wright with solicitation of prostitution. Sixty-six have been charged to date. None of those cases has gone to trial.
Citing the outsized media attention, Mills excluded the public from the jury selection process last week, a decision the Press Herald challenged. The Supreme Court sided with the newspaper, ruling that Mills could not bar the public or media from the proceedings.
Mills then considered Lilley's motion to drop 46 of the 59 counts against his client -- all related to violation of privacy. She dismissed the charges, agreeing with Lilley's argument that someone who engages in criminal activity -- in this case prostitution -- does not have an objective expectation of privacy.
The prosecution's appeal of the dismissal put the case in limbo.
On Monday, Supreme Court Chief Justice Leigh Saufley said the court would need more time to consider the appeal, but authorized Mills to proceed to trial with the remaining 13 counts against Strong if she wished.
Mills said Tuesday that she would wait for the high court's ruling next month and put the pool of jurors on standby.
Sharon, the defense attorney in Lewiston, said Mills' decision was in keeping with her style. She "doesn't shoot from the hip," and has certainly thought about how best to proceed, he said.
Burke, the law school professor, said that although no judge likes to see decisions reversed, that doesn't always imply the judge has made a mistake.
McKee, the attorney in Augusta, said that if the high court ends up overturning Mills' dismissal of the 46 counts, she will simply move on to the next step in the trial.

Common Core State Standards (CCSS)
The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). The standards were developed in collaboration with teachers, school administrators, and experts, to provide a clear and consistent framework to prepare our children for college and the workforce.
The NGA Center and CCSSO received initial feedback on the draft standards from national organizations representing, but not limited to, teachers, postsecondary educators (including community colleges), civil rights groups, English language learners, and students with disabilities. Following the initial round of feedback, the draft standards were opened for public comment, receiving nearly 10,000 responses.
The standards are informed by the highest, most effective models from states across the country and countries around the world, and provide teachers and parents with a common understanding of what students are expected to learn. Consistent standards will provide appropriate benchmarks for all students, regardless of where they live.
These standards define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K-12 education careers so that they will graduate high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs. The standards:
- Are aligned with college and work expectations;
- Are clear, understandable and consistent;
- Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills;
- Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards;
- Are informed by other top performing countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society; and
- Are evidence-based.
On June 16, 2010, the New Jersey State Board of Education adopted the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics and English Language Arts. Forty-six states and DC have now adopted the Common Core State Standards which will allow these states to work together to support schools and districts in implementing the standards.
For additional information go to: http://www.corestandards.org/about-the-standards
Rubric for determining lesson and unit alignment to the CCSSThe Quality Rubric was developed by the Tri-State Collaborative (Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island) to determine the quality of lessons and units aligned to the Common Core State Standards for ELA and for Mathematics. The rubrics look at alignment to the rigor of the CCSS; key areas of focus in the CCSS; instructional supports, and assessment. There is a rating scale for each of these four dimensions and lesson plans and units are evaluated as exemplar; exemplar if improved; needs revisions; not recommended, and not ready to review. To view or use the rubric, please visit http://engageny.org/resource/tri-state-quality-review-rubric-and-rating-process/
Rubrics for evaluating Open Ended Resources for alignment to CCSSTo help states, districts, teachers, and other users determine the degree of alignment of OERs to the Common Core State Standards, and to determine aspects of quality of OERs, Achieve has developed eight rubrics in collaboration with leaders from the OER community (download link for rubrics below). To allow users to apply these rubrics and evaluate the quality of instructional resources, Achieve partnered with OER Commons to develop an online evaluation tool. OER Commons, an online repository for open education resources, is now hosting the tool and its resulting evaluation data. Every resource available on OER Commons contains an "Evaluate Resource" button that will direct users to the evaluation tool. The coding for the tool is freely available online here. Resources rated on OER Commons will create a pool of metadata, and this metadata will be shared through the Learning Registry with other interested repositories http://www.achieve.org/oer-rubrics

I feel this small tooth brush is best suited for a kitten, or very small cat. I feel the one that is a little bigger is better for a adult cat. I use the bigger one myself, not the one for a dog.
This is the only toothbrush that works to clean my kitty's teeth. It's small enough to fit into her mouth. I just wish it was less expensive (it costs more than my toothbrushes). We brush her teeth every night and go through a lot of these!
I like the size of this brush, I was able to reach kitty's molars and premolar, unlike a regular pet or baby's toothbrush which are way too big. I didn't give it a 5 star b'cos, I find the bristles a little too soft, not abrasive enough and probably won't last very long considering the price I'm paying.
This is the perfect toothbrush for a cat's mouth. Check out this video to train your cat to love getting their teeth brushed.

Large areas of dry mid & upper level air (black & rust colored areas on the water vapor satellite image below) remains over the Central & SW Atlantic. Overall conditions remain unsuitable for significant tropical development as shear generally remains high too.
Shear is strong over much of the Atlantic Basin -- as can be seen below -- exceeding 40 knots over parts of the Caribbean...exceeding 30 knots over the SW Atlantic....& 20=30+ knots over the Gulf of Mexico....
Tropical waves are struggling as they move west off the coast of Africa. Little development expected at this time with the few waves that are westbound. Dry air is very evident on the IR satellite below - note the patchy light gray colored clouds which are stratocumulus clouds - indicative of a stable air mass.

With the win, the Sky Sox salvage a series split after falling behind 2-0 in the four-game set.
On Sunday, Colorado Springs jumped out quickly, taking a 1-0 advantage on a lead-off home run by D.J. LeMahieu. The Aces clawed back in the second, though, using two-out RBI singles by Zach Kroenke and A.J. Pollock to flip the one-run deficit into a one-run lead.
That advantage would stand up until the sixth, though, when the Sky Sox put up a three-spot to take a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Reno brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth, but couldn't push a run across.
The win went to Colorado Springs starter Rob Scahill (1-0), who scattered two runs on seven hits with five strikeouts over five innings of work. After Mike Ekstrom and Dustin Molleken combined for three scoreless frames, Edgmer Escalona slammed the door in the ninth for his first save of the season.
Kroenke (0-1) was pinned with the loss, surrendering four runs on 10 hits over five innings. Kroenke walked one and struck out two. Out of the Reno bullpen, Jensen Lewis allowed a run over two frames, Mike Zagurski tossed a spotless eighth in his Aces debut, and Mike DeMark dealt a scoreless ninth.
At the dish for Reno, Gillespie and Jake Elmore led the way with two hits apiece.
The Aces are now set to kick off a four-game series against the Salt Lake Bees. Monday's opener is set for 6:35 p.m. PT, with LHP Tom Layne (0-0, No ERA) getting the nod for Reno and RHP Trevor Bell (0-0, No ERA) countering for the Bees.
Today's game will be the first Om-Nom-Nomday presented by KTVN Channel 2 News of the season. Nachos will be available for just $1. Tickets are on-sale now at RenoAces.com, by calling (775) 334-7000 or by visiting the Aces Ballpark Ticket Office.

In a recording of Romney at a fundraiser, the aristocrat from Massachusetts said 47 percent of American people pay no income tax, depend on government, believe they are victims and that government has a responsibility to care for them. They believe they are entitled to health care, food, housing-you name it- that's entitlement. He said "My job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
Romney reiterated the classic difference between Democrats and Republicans. He is unlike the last Aristocrat from Massachusetts who occupied the White House, President John F. Kennedy, who did care for the lives of the less fortunate and convinced Congress to pass laws providing services for the mentally ill and the working poor, who were victims of poverty-not by choice but circumstance.
After prodding from the Democrats and the electorate, Romney released his 2011 income tax returns which show he paid about a 13 percent tax rate. During the campaign, he stated that he never paid less than a 13 percent tax rate in any of the last 10 years. But if Romney had taken his full deductions for charitable contributions he was entitled to, his tax rate would be only 9 percent. Not bad when you consider many middle class families are working two jobs and paying a much higher tax rate. Romney conveniently claimed a charitable deduction of $2.2 million when he actually donated about $4 million to charities in 2011. So why did Romney, who's worth is considered to be over $250 million, overpay the government $600 thousand, modify his tax return and tailor it to keep within the 13 perent tax rate? He did to deceive the American people, that's why. I wonder what the last 10 years of his returns would teach us about his religious values of honesty.
Romney's integrity or the lack of it is clear. With all the promises he made during the campaign, we have to ask, is he a man of his word? If he is, he should concede to the Democrats. When asked about his income tax returns last month, he defended his low tax rate saying: " I don't pay more than are legally due, and frankly if I had paid more than are legally due I don't think I'd be qualified to become president."
OK Mr. Romney, if you don't want to be bothered with the needs of the helpless, concerns of the working poor and the health of the elderly, who don't pay any income tax, why are you running for office? To cover your lies, you skewed your 2011 income tax by paying over half a million dollars more than you should have, and you admitted your are not qualified to be president of the United States. I agree. that shoe does fit - now wear it.

text: There is some good logic for replacing a 20 yo heater now, but until it starts leaking, it's not absolutely necessary. As far as the vent is concerned, that can should be easy enough to fix. Metal vent pipe is not expensive and is readily available. I would suggest you start saving for a new water heater though. Twenty years is way past normal life expectancy for these things. I don't know if $1200 is really necessary, but you local prices may be different than mine.

We are sorry, this gear was just bought!
If your top priority is buttery-smooth bokeh, look no further. This lens is not for the faint of heart, it's little big, a little heavy, but a lot awesome. It opens all the way up to 1.2 for extreme low light situations with an end result of amazingly smooth out of focus areas. The 85L One-Point-Butter falls into the high-risk/ high-reward camp and we wouldn't have it any other way; the AF can be a bit slow with all that pretty glass to move around, but when you nail it, you REALLY nail it. Stop this guy down to f/2.0 for some razor-sharp subjects and dreamy backgrounds. Pop it on to a 1.6x crop-factor camera and it becomes a 135mm focal length, fantastic for portraits whether you rock a full-frame or a cropped sensor. This lens truly earns its spot among Canon's "Holy Trinity of Primes."

I love the Cam argument agaisnt Chizik. What if Miles didn't walk into a talented roster that Saban left? What if Danny Wonderful didn't play at UF? What if Colt McCoy doesn't get hurt? Chizik won a NC surviving the biggest media storm ever to hit a NC contender. How about a lil bit of credit.
When you think of SEC football, you think of millionaire coaches with championship rings on every finger. But when you survey the league's actual coaching roster these days, in reality there are more guys with business left to prove than men with proven resumes.
Matt Hayes of The Sporting News has ranked the league's coaches #1 through #14 today and while we'll show you his list, we won't steal his thunder and give you the reasons behind his selections. You can find those here.
What we will say, however, is that after about five coaches — and we disagree with Hayes' top five — there are some serious question marks. More question marks than the ever-rich, ever-successful SEC has had in a long, long while.
Hayes' rankings:
1. Nick Saban, Alabama
2. Les Miles, LSU
3. Steve Spurrier, South Carolina
4. Mark Richt, Georgia
5. James Franklin, Vanderbilt
6. Gary Pinkel, Missouri
7. Gene Chizik, Auburn
8. Dan Mullen, Mississippi State
9. Kevin Sumlin, Texas A&M
10. Will Muschamp, Florida
11. John L. Smith, Arkansas
12. Hugh Freeze, Ole Miss
13. Joker Phillips, Kentucky
14. Derek Dooley, Tennessee
Saban, Miles, Spurrier and Richt have proven themselves over time to be at or near the top of their profession. They should all be untouchable at this point. That's right, Georgia fans: should… be… untouchable.
Pinkel has done for Missouri what Spurrier has done for Carolina. He's upgraded the school's talent and he's put his program on the national map for the first time. Sure, he hasn't done it in the SEC yet, but Pinkel would be #5 on this writer's list for having accomplished what he's accomplished in a BCS conference.
After those five coaches? Question marks, question marks, question marks.
Franklin had a surprising first year and his recruiting has been stunning by Vandy's standards, but he's been in Nashville for just one season.
Chizik has a national title on his resume but if Cam Newton hadn't signed with Auburn would the Tigers' coach be entering this season on a hot seat? Probably.
Mullen was Franklin three years ago and he's the reason we're reserving judgement on Franklin now. At some point MSU's coach will have to have a breakthrough season and beat someone other than Ole Miss in the SEC West.
Smith did well at Louisville but he was sacked at Michigan State. Sumlin has had non-BCS-level success. Muschamp's resume is short. Freeze has a short resume and his success came at the non-BCS-level.
Phillips has done nothing to make anyone think he was the brains of Rich Brooks' outfit and Dooley inherited such a mess at Tennessee that he really shouldn't be judged before this season is over (though the returns on his first two seasons have been poor).
Overall, the league's coaching roster is surprisingly average. Of course, the SEC's list of coaches would look a lot more impressive if Bobby Petrino hadn't blown his career to smithereens last month. But as it stands, there are four guys who've proven themselves, one who's proven himself in another BCS league, and nine others who the jury is still very much out on.

Guitar Hero was a smash hit on the PlayStation 2 and you know that a sequel was bound to come out. I had a great time with the first one and wanted more. Well, it's finally here and Red Octane has yet another hit on their hands in Guitar Hero II.
Guitar Hero II is the first for Harmonix under the Activision distribution umbrella. Like the original game, you play a toy sized guitar with five fret buttons, a strum bar, and a whammy bar. A note line comes strolling down towards you and you have to match the right fret button with the corresponding note and strum the guitar at the right moment. Variations on the notes include holding more than one fret button down as well as long notes. The more successful you are, the more points you score and the better the crowd reacts to you. On the bottom right is a meter that tracks how well the crowd reacts to you. When you are in the red, there's a chance your session will end prematurely and you'll have to start over if you want to complete the song.
As you continue to hit notes correctly you'll build up score and a multiplier. A maximum non-star powered multiplier is 4x. You'll get the maximum amount of points naturally by completing a long section of notes in a row. One mistake though and your multiplier is gone so it pays to be accurate as a mistake is very costly in terms of point potential.
Some notes can increase your star power. Once you have enough star power, you can activate it by tilting the guitar. Star power will increase the multiplier by a factor of two while star power is active. The opportune time to use this is when you have a 4x multiplier as the big jump to 8x will garner you a lot of points quickly. When you're in the red on your meter, activating star power can also quickly get you back into the crowd's favor and move that arrow towards the green area.
The big selling point of the game is the guitar of course and it's a blast to play. Those that are starting out can easily pick up the game as the easy setting only uses three fret buttons. Like Samba De Amigo, Guitar Hero II utilizes the unique controller and offers a fun an exhilarating experience. The one that comes with the second one is red in color as opposed to the white one in the first game. Decals are also included in this one as well so you can decorate your guitar to your liking. If you have the original, you can use the same guitar for Guitar Hero 2. I'm happy to say I experienced no problems playing the game with the Guitar Hero 1 guitar. There are issues with some after market guitars but if you have the Red Octane official version, you'll be safe.
If you played the first game then all these features will be familiar to you. Those that played the first game will easily pick up the guitar and hop right into the main game.
As with any new music game, new songs are now available and the playlist has a great variety to choose from. You'll get songs from big name bands from different eras such as Aerosmith, Stray Cats, and Van Halen. Of course, the more obscure and garage bands are also represented here. Most of the songs are covered by another band and they do do a very good job just like in the first game. Some of the vocals are dead on. The instrumentals offer some twists in some songs as well adding to the game. Overall, the song selection should have something to please everyone. There are forty songs that will be available once you go through the single player and more that you can purchase through the store. A slight change from the original game is that you have to play three songs and finish the encore to move onto the next set. If you don't pass the encore song you won't be able to access the next group of songs. You'll see a nice ending animation for each venue you play in once you complete the encore.
Veterans of Guitar Hero will find the new one harder and taking longer to master. Even at the medium difficulty level, the songs can take a few tries. I didn't have too many problems with the original game and I found myself flubbing a few songs here and there on the second lowest difficulty setting. Crank it up a little higher and you'll really see yourself fail quickly if you're not up to the task. Thankfully, the practice mode that I'll get into in a bit really comes in handy. While you might be a whiz at the first game, be prepared to get some extra practice in for the second one.
Guitar Hero 2 has some new characters and guitars with some returning favorites such as the Grim Reaper. The store is back to purchase new guitars, songs, finishes, and characters. You earn cash through the single player mode with more money in hand the better you do of course. Using the money in the store will increase the content available in the game just like in the original.
The new features for Guitar Hero II, besides the new songs, really add to the game. First off a great practice mode is now in place. You can pick a specific song, a specific section of the song, and a speed at which to practice to. This will really help with the added difficulty of the second game and should also give newbies an easy way to learn the songs so they don't get frustrated easily. Even Guitar Hero veterans will need to strengthen their skills and this is a great way to do so without having to get into the game.
Also new to the game are three button chords. These don't come around too often but they do add another aspect to the game. Also, hammer ons and pull offs are a little easier. If you don't know what those are, hammer ons allow you to play successive notes with one strum. Say three notes come really close together going from left to right. You can hold the first fret button down and strum as you normally would but you can just switch to the next successive fret buttons to complete the note rather than strumming for each note. Pull offs go the opposite way from right to left.
Another great features is the new multiplayer option. You can now play alongside another person as one takes the lead guitar while the other plays the bass or rhythm guitar. In the previous game, you had to play against each other but Guitar Hero II offers both cooperative play and playing against each other. The great thing about the cooperative play is that you don't have to have the same skillset to play together. One can play at a different difficulty setting then the other so if you got a person who's new to the game and one who's really experienced you both can enjoy the game at the same time. Both of you share one meter and to activate the super star mode, you both have to tilt the guitar at the same time. When each player plays the note correctly, you can hear the music from their respective side if you have a stereo setup. You'll also hear which person is not playing up to par easily this way. When you two are doing well though, you'll hear the musical tones in harmony. The new mode really makes you feel like you're in a band working together to produce the best song possible. Since everything is shared, you have to work a little harder to get those multipliers. The new cooperative mode is a great addition to the series and a great reason to pick up another guitar.
In the end, there's some new features but the core game remains the same. That's not a bad thing as the original is a blast to play and so is the second one. Guitar Hero 2 gives you more of the original game with some added twists, increased difficulty, cooperative mode, and practice mode along with new songs. The game's a blast to play with others and Harmonix has really done a great job translating the notes into a fun playable experience with the guitar. It's too bad that you can't plug a controller in the PlayStation 3 to experience this game but if you have the good ole PlayStation 2, do yourself a favor and pick this game up. Fans of the original will love the new version and those new to the game will find it easier to get into with the practice mode.

FORTUNE -- Big Pharma is still big, but its business model is dying. For years, the game in pharmaceuticals has been to research, discover and then fiercely defend billion-dollar drugs.
But several mighty drug companies are losing the rights to exclusively own the formulas for best-selling drugs. Take Pfizer (PFE), which made a killing off cholesterol medication Lipitor. In 2012, Pfizer lost the exclusive rights to the drug, opening it up to competition from companies that produce cheaper, generic versions.
That hurt. CEO Ian Read explained in the 2012 third-quarter earnings report, "Year-to-date we have absorbed approximately $5.5 billion in LOEs." An "LOE" is a loss of exclusivity to drug formulas, including Lipitor and others in this case, and $5.5 billion is no joke.
So how can drug companies prevent these kinds of losses? One way, Novartis CEO Joseph Jimenez suggested to Fortune, is to re-imagine what is known as a blockbuster, or a drug that earns the company at least $1 billion per-year. "The definition of a blockbuster is changing," Jimenez said.
The old concept of a blockbuster has generally been one drug to treat one disease that affects a large population. Because blockbusters are so profitable, companies scramble to squeeze as much money out of them as possible, arguably in a way that detracts from efforts to research and develop novel treatments.
MORE: Graduating this spring? How to stand out from the crowd
For example, large pharmaceutical companies have invested in what's known as "me-too" drugs. Companies make drugs with the same basic formulas as some of their bestsellers, tweak them slightly, and re-package them as new treatments. That strategy won't work for much longer, says Jimenez, given that the Affordable Care Act will discourage me-too drugs. Previously, to get FDA approval, companies had to prove that new drugs performed significantly better than a placebo, but they didn't have to show that the treatment performed better than drugs already on the market. Under the ACA, "new" drugs that don't perform significantly better than current options won't be eligible for reimbursement from insurance companies.
This means Big Pharma has a couple of options. For one, they can fight to keep the rights to blockbusters. Pfizer has had some success with this; its hugely profitable drug Viagra was supposed to go off patent in 2012, but the company managed to extend its exclusivity rights until 2020.
But here's a crazy idea -- what about making new drugs? The catch is that competition is fierce in areas with big patient populations such as erectile dysfunction and heart disease. But Novartis has decided re-think the methodology behind drug development, Jimenez says.
It takes into account the fact that, in general, effective research and development doesn't come from targeting the most profitable problems. Basic research often takes many twists and turns. The discovery of Penicillin, famously, was a happy accident. Novartis (NVS) has a new strategy to try to generate that kind of serendipity. Instead of targeting a disease with a massive patient population, the company is instead targeting pathways, or the distinct biological mechanisms that cause a disease.
The company has seen some success with this method. It developed its drug Afinitor, for example, for with the idea to target a cluster of diseases. Afinitor was first approved to treat kidney cancer. But research demonstrated that it also works in patients with some lung and breast cancers. Sales of Afinitor for breast cancer do not add up to $1 billion, neither do sales of Afinitor as a kidney cancer or lung cancer treatment. But looking at the sales numbers combined, it makes a blockbuster.

There are pros and cons to this method. According to a February analyst report from Morningstar, Novartis is well positioned for good long-term growth. But investors need to understand that this kind of growth can take time. The old blockbuster-finding strategy hasn't been sustainable, but it's been profitable immediately. Novartis is taking a different route through drugs that treat smaller patient populations.
Investors aren't always willing to be patient. For example, in 2009, Novartis received approval for Ilaris, a drug that treats CAPS, a class of rare, potentially fatal autoinflammatory diseases that can cause fevers and chills, bone deformities, and loss of vision. "Many of our people said, 'Why are you designing a drug for only 6,000 people in the world; CAPS is so rare?'" No one else was making drugs to treat the disease.
But the idea is that cracking the code to treat CAPS will lead the way to treatment of other diseases caused by the same mechanism.
Using this strategy, Novartis will not bet the farm on finding the next massive breakthrough, such as an Alzheimer's drug, which is a tack its competitors have taken.
But there are clear pros to the company's plan. For one, Novartis will make treatments for rare diseases that could ultimately blossom into blockbusters by virtue of their application to multiple maladies. Even the drugs that don't materialize into great sales numbers will get the company into a new market.
And to chuck the business angle for a moment, the big-picture pro of this strategy is that it means Novartis will be making medicine for people who need it, despite the industry straying from that somewhat as an effective business strategy.
Making drugs, after all, is what drug companies are supposed to do.
Consumers are told that generics are just like their name-brand counterparts. More medical professionals are starting to say that's not the case.

Let Them Drink Beer: Curating theatre that feels like a night out
Off-Center is a new theatre experience developed by the Denver Center Theatre Company. It's theatre that feels like a night out – fewer formalities, less sitting still, more beer, more fun. Everything is guided by the desire to be immersive, convergent, connective, inventive and "in the now." Its curators — Charlie Miller and Emily Tarquin — recently gave their "recipe" for this innovative theatre experience to Theatre Communications Group.
Free beer (or even cheap beer) may be the easiest and fastest way to tap into a new audience. Drinks, food, socializing, and costumes (on the audience, not the performers) are what young Denver locals look for in a night out. Translation: they aren't looking for theatre.

"Toward the end of the 1800s, social thinkers tried to apply Charles Darwin's discoveries about the animal world to the human world. Englishman Herbert Spencer and many of his American admirers developed a theory about human society that became known as Social Darwinism."
This is a quote taken from my last column. I took it from a guest commentary published in the NDN on April 17, 2010. I decided to write on the subject because President Obama had recently charged Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin with being a Social Darwinist. Ryan is chairman of the House Budget Committee, so the subject seemed worthy of a second look.
It still does. The Ryan budget (which all parties for and against knew would never be enacted) represents an ideal, an economic brass ring. If one day captured, it would achieve a distinct set of aspirations.
What is this ideal? Essentially, it seeks a major reduction in the size of government. In the Ryan budget, this is to be accomplished by repealing Obama's health-care bill and replacing it by using subsidies with caps, for the purchase of private health insurance; reducing the top individual and corporate tax rate to 25 percent; cutting food stamps, along with aid to college students through Pell grants, and other smaller cuts, while exempting the military from budget reductions.
Ryan has made his point of view clear: he worries that Americans are becoming too reliant on government benefits, and he expresses this in a metaphor: "We don't want to turn the safety net into a hammock that lulls able-bodied people into lives of dependency."
For me, the idea conjures up the image of the Flying Wallendas, the famous high-wire circus act. Unlike the tightrope daredevils, hard-working Americans are protected by government against financial falls. These protections put them at risk of devolving into slackers dozing on the couch at taxpayer expense. Arizona Senator Richard Kyl held much the same view when he argued against extending unemployment benefits. To do so, he said, would entice the unemployed to give up efforts to find work.
Much in the news recently has been anti-tax activist Grover Norquist's successful effort to get rid of senior Indiana senator Richard Lugar. Norquist founded Americans for Tax Reform, and his own literary bent is registered in an image he often relies on to dramatize his hatred of government: "Our goal is to shrink government to the size where we can drown it in a bathtub." (Presumably, after the baby has been drowned, it gets thrown out with the bathwater.)
Thus, even with one of the most conservative voting records in the Senate, Lugar had to go. He had refused to sign Norquist's famous pledge to never vote to raise taxes. Lugar had argued that signing such a pledge would be turning over his responsibilities as a U.S. senator to an unelected lobbyist. Lugar is now gone.
How does all this relate to Social Darwinism in Naples? Here's a letter published on February 6, titled "That is all." It voices the point of view expressed by many:
"President Barack Obama tells us to pay more taxes to fund entitlements for others.
But why is the happiness of others important and good, but not our own?
It is not the job of government to tax us to 'subsidize' and decide what's 'fair.'
Government's job is to provide only those services that the free market cannot: roads, sewers, streetlights, the legislature and judiciary, and the common defense."
Perhaps the writer would be willing to include "water," since that will be needed for Norquist's bathtub.
Add to this the torrent of opposition in Bonita Springs to a homeless shelter. Here's the first paragraph of a typical example, published on April 2: "Why does St. Matthew's House continue to pursue a homeless shelter in Bonita Springs where the resounding number of residents do not want it?"
Opposition to the shelter takes many forms, but my general impression is one of fear of homeless people. By the very nature of being without homes they are suspect in one way or another.
If I'm right, such views are consistent with Representative Ryan's wish to save the nation from sloth, and Norquist's targeting any politician able to imagine a circumstance that requires a tax increase. These men and their ideas—especially Representative Ryan—take their inspiration from the key Social Darwinist in our time, Ayn Rand.
Stay tuned: a look at what she thinks will figure next time.

swift, one of the rivers of Damascus (2 Kings 5:12). It has been identified with the 'Awaj, "a small lively river." The whole of the district watered by the 'Awaj is called the Wady el-'Ajam, i.e., "the valley of the Persians", so called for some unknown reason. This river empties itself into the lake or marsh Bahret Hijaneh, on the east of Damascus. One of its branches bears the modern name of Wady Barbar, which is probably a corruption of Pharpar.
